Our opinion

The family-run Hotel Elisabeth boasts excellent facilities and getting to the skiing is convenient via the ski bus that stops just outside the hotel. A great choice for those looking for a traditional Austrian Hotel in a quiet location. Choose from traditionally decorated rooms or the more contemporary Alpine ‘Elisabeth’ rooms with their sleep-boosting ‘Zirben’ wood.
